You can imagine how excited I was this morning when I started my computer and saw that Roxie and Seattle Stamper had liked my card and that it was this week's sketch. I have had this song going through my head. I used my computer to print the words onto a piece of cream parchment. I stained it with a tea bag. I then tore the edges, crinkled it, and used chalks to distress the edges. I used dp that had a vintage feel to it. I added lace, ribbons and pearls. My favorite part of this card is the Cameo. It is from a Mark's Finest Papers set called Grandma's Boudior. It will be released next week during the Mark's Finest Papers blog hop. I stamped it twice. Once with Adirondack cabin fever ink. The second time I stamped it with versamark and added gold ep. I cut the center out of the cabin fever colored one and layered it on the gold one. I wanted the gold to look antiqued, so I used a brown colored pencil to color over it.

What a lovely "old-fashioned" card, MariLynn. Thanks for the fun layout for today's challenge. Something I would have never thought of on my own, but the cards in the gallery are fabulous! You must be proud.

thanks for the sketch today, MariLyn! I love your card. I love black and any colors that it's paired with. Your sentiment is soft and subtle against all that black. Grand work.
